Another good win today for the lads, beating the Central Coast. Next game is Cronulla at the weekend.

Percival and Swift scoring again!

36-14 we won.

Andre Savelio MOM

How far is Savelio off playing first team? I take it he's the guy who has a look of Jarryd Hayne about him? He looks a foot taller than the Saints coaches already.

I watched him playing against Wigan at Ince and he looks a big unit but tired to quickly for me?
Suppose fittness can always get better? Yes he is massive for his age?

He could have won that game for Saints (undeservedly

) but for a great chase and tackle from the Wigan winger Joe Burgess.

It's always difficult at that age because some of those players are so much bigger than their opponents, but in a few years don't grow much more and then find the game a bit more difficult.

Ben Kavanagh was a prime example.

Savelio is certainly a big athletic lad, and it'll be interesting to watch his progress.

You think Savelio looks big? You look at Luke Thompson and Greg Richards who are both the same age. Absolute animals.

Greg Richards a Cumbrian from Barriw who's been selected to represent England.

If they're animals, get 'em signed up to the first team quick. We need animals! We have no animals.

Speaking of which ... haven't yet spotted a kangaroo in the pics arriving from our team down under. The latest photos on the Saints website show nothing but surfboards, sand and sea (plus some Saints blokes falling in the water and Tommy God showing off!).

Not that I'm remotely jealous, like.

There was another big lad who played for the U18's Jack Francis?

He must support the Pies to get a mention here

I don't know who he supports, but he's a big lad. I only tell you what I know as fact.

Richards, Thompson and Savellio are only 16 and nowhere near ready for SL, all three have been very impressive so far on tour though/

Is it true that the Pies youngsters are going to tour Twickers via Clarkes Tours

Saints on Twitter have just reported that the Academy have beaten the Sharks 30-22, which is a fantastic result for them. That's a 75% success rate so far. Amazing. And they played in 30 degree heat.

Well done lads! Keep going; three down, one to go!

The good thing is they still haven't played their best yet, today was once again very scrappy and they only converted two tries.

At one stage the Sharks got back to 22 -22 despite scoring two less tries so they will need to improve all round to beat Penrith in the last game.
Hesketh and Clare were good up front while Adam Swift continues to impress. Savellio was awarded man of the match.

3 out of 3, surely that's a 100% record, so far!

Oh ok smart arris! I shouldn't have said 'so far'!

tons of photos of the match on the cronulla site www.ourfootyteam.com/cronullaJun ... helens.php Andre Saveilio is a monster.. He is the dark skinned guy with legs like a giant Redwood Tommy God and Eric Chisnall. Tommy seems to have been working on his tan.

What's the deal with playing against the U17s? Is that the norm? What's the average age of our guys?

Ours are mainly 16 or 17 with handful that have just turned 18.

Most of those Aussie under 17's will actually be nearing 18 due to the way the school year runs.

They are therefore pretty much the same age group.

The Eclipse will have a better idea on the relative age groups of the players.

Cheers.

Finished unbeaten,won 20-14 against Penrith, well done lads!

Fantastic achievement. Well done Saints!

Excellent results.
